Hello all

A new member here. My name is Sue and as you can see by by nick I am a wannabee sax player. I am married to John (also a wannabee sax man), we have been married 25 years and have 2 mad dogs Dudley (Jack Russell) and Tess (staffy cross/?). Live in the dales in North Yorkshire. I have been learning sax for almost 5 years and take grade 5 on Thursday - my 1st exam so a bit nervous. Anyway looking forward to joining in the forum fun.

Welcome to the forum Sue - like you, I play the saxophone.

Have a look through Viva Woodwind for useful sax stuff, and you'll also find the Adult Learner's forum invaluable I'm sure. You can talk to other adult learners about your experiences there.

Good luck for your grade 5 on Thursday!

Hi Sue, and welcome.

I'm another adult starter, in my case singing, violin, piano (re-start after 25 years) and recorder (re-start after 30 years).

You'll find a lot of enthusiastic support here, do enjoy posting. Good luck for your exam.

Cheers

Katyjay

Welcome Sue. You're in a lovely part of the country - we have friends who farm near Kirkby Stephen - anywhere near you ?

Do you mean practical?

Car Expert

Oh yeah - it's just I saw Grade 5, and then instantly thought 'Theory': don't know why particularly...

~Wobby~

Thanks to all for such a warm welcome. I'm sure I'll find the visits very theraputical but so many active posters - I can't keep up with all the topics. Will visit the cafe very soon and look forward to a lovely cup of coffee - I hear it's tasty in there



It is lovely here. Kirkby Stephen is a lot farther west. We are just west of Harrogate in Nidderdale - near Pateley Bridge.

What a beautiful part of the country. When my daughter went to Durham university we decided to have a holiday in the area every October, when we had to take her back to Durham. So far we've stayed in Teesdale and in the Yorkshire Dales, near Kirby Stephen. It is just so gorgeous. Trying to think where we go this October (providing daughter's passed her exams, of course.) If it wasn't such a long journey I think we'd go up there more often.

Welcome Sue, to the forums.

Welcome! I hope you get plenty of enjoyment from the forums!

Welcome Sue
